Do you know what a very big secret is to getting traffic to your blog on a regular basis?
It’s so simple, you probably haven’t thought about it.
In fact, you may be a pretty casual blogger. You do it when the spirit moves you, right? Or when you have time.
Well…
I’m here to tell you that one HUGE factor in getting traffic to your blog is by posting every single day.
Argh! You think. Easier said than done. What do I write? How will I find the time?
There are two ways you can post to your blog every day and not feel too pinched.
When it comes to the writing of posts, that can be pretty simple. You can read something online and write a post about that. I love to do that. When I find something that’s pretty cool or interesting in my niche, I love to tell people about it. Those are easy posts to make because someone has already given me the material.
Or, you can take a PLR product and break it down into articles that you rewrite. Don’t just slap up the stuff without rewriting first, or it probably won’t do you much good with the search engines. PLR products are sold to tons of customers who may all be using the stuff verbatim. Don’t do it. You’re just tossing out duplicate content.
You can also someone to write blog posts for you. That’s the easiest way yet.
So, let’s say you have content and no time. That’s simple, too.
In WordPress, right in the “Publish Status” box, there’s a phrase that says, “Publish immediately.” And beside it, a link that says, “edit.” When you click that, you can set your post to publish at any time of the day or night on any day of the week, month, or year. It’s really sweet.
So, like you have 5 articles and you have a weekend or a block of time you’ve scheduled in for blog posting. Post all of the articles at once, and set them to go out whenever you like.
In my mind, that would be 5 days, back to back.
Here are the facts…
In April, I had 50% more visitors to my blog because I posted every day. I decided to slow it down a bit in May to see what would happen.
People forget you. People unsub because you’re not adding new content fast enough. There are all kinds of reasons.
Just keep posting, every day, though, and you’ll see an enormous difference in the traffic to your blog, your opt-in numbers, and even your sales.
Come on… It’s really not that tough. Tomorrow, I’ll give you a few more ideas for posting content…
Stay tuned.

This is truly hilarious. I read your post and drank it in. You had me sold on the idea of posting everyday. I see this post was done on 6/2/08, and at the end it says there were to me more tips on the following day’s post. I thought, “Cool. Wanna read that!” But then I realize that, even though I’m reading this post on the 4th of June, you haven’t added another post yet.
Post everyday? Huh?

Yes consistent content always drives up readership.
Spent most of yesterday doing posts for the week because I will be in Philly for JV Alert so scheduling can be easy.
And finally I am one of the one’s that hasn’t been here for a while. Not sure I like the new look either course it just may be these old eyes. Maybe you are going for the younger demographic ;).
